Finger 1.5.0

Finger is a Macintosh implementation of the Un*x Finger protocol that allows you to finger anyone in the world. Finger is AppleScriptable and Recordable. It lets you get info on anyone on the Net with a Finger entery.

When you choose Finger from the File menu, it will ask you for a machine and user name. It will then attempt to find the machine, open port 79 (or 43 for the Whois Server, both port numbers specified in STR# 300), and send the username to it. Then it will display whatever information the remote machine returns, up to 30k bytes.

Finger translates the incoming and outgoing characters between the Mac's 8-bit characters and the standard network ISO-8859-1 character set.
